Bug Description
With the new gnome comes the 'system will shutdown in 60 seconds' nag dialog, which I'm sure is wonderful for laptop users who accidentally press the button, but it's annoying otherwise.
I have searched for a way to turn it off, or set the timeout to a much lower value. Something like 2-3 seconds would be bearable, but I can't find any option to do this. There's nothing in the gnome power manager, I can't find any mention of it in gconf either.
I've looked through forums of other people asking for this, someone said they even looked through the source code of the shutdown dialog, but couldn't figure out how it works because it's just a widget-like thing (?)
There should be a way to change the timeout value. At this point I don't care if it's a value hidden in a conf file somewhere without any user interface, I just want to bloody change it.

If this is a reference to the Fast User Switcher applet, that delay can simply be turned off in the Preferences by deselecting the Confirm dialogues option.
